I disagree. I’ve used a wonderful product that definitely tightens skin. The ingredient that tightens is DMAE. The company is Ageless Skincare, out of California. It was $30 for a jar that lasted me 2mos. The only thing I didn’t like is that it has alcohol, which is drying. It needed to be abit more moist, to be a good moisturizer. But one could use something else with it, like DermaE, which is moist without being greasy. So far this is the very best dmae cream I’ve used that isn’t expensive. I have not used anything else that tightens like dmae. Not all products with dmae tighten as well as this one because they don’t seem to have much dmae in them. I’ve used 3 totally and the last two don’t show any tightening. But you can believe that if you use this product you will look like you’ve had a facelift, after about 7days. My roommate saw me after being away and she couldn’t believe how my skin looked and I’m almost 60yrs. It works and I don’t work for the company. It’s just good. I’m still looking for something that works as well because I don’t like to wait on an order. But I may order this again online.

ACTUALLY – they are not all scams.
I went to a products tradefair thing in bologna in Italy couple of years ago, and got samples of this skin tightening product, which i have never seen on the market but it was AMAZING.
it was like a clear serum…and it would last until i washed it off..and it smoothed out all my wrinkles..and just gave me a shiney skin..like as if my hands were pulling back my face like when you have a tight pony tail…
also makeup just glided on!
was amazing!!
so they are NOT all scams..there is something out there that REALLY works..

Yeah, what about the copper in Neutrogena visibly firm? It feels great…but is it effective at all?

This is to say they are all scams. At least in the sense they we described above. Relastin may be a perfectly fine product that the Allure beauty expert uses, but it isn’t any better for your skin than other tightening creams. And at $69 for half an ounce, they should be ashamed of themselves!

This is not to say that all creams are scams! Check out the April 2007 Allure magazine article on how to look younger. Turns out the beauty expert uses Relastin Eye Silk!
